Hermit,
The Teeny Nymph i remember had a small piece of oblong heavy metal
hanging
out the bottom of the pattern (to make it sink). It was a patented fly
sold
in a cardboard backed, clear plastic front box (at G.I Joes). The only
"patented" fly i
remember seeing in the NW (probably tied in N. Korea). Nothing but a
Pheasant Tail dyed different colors with a piece of ugly black lead
hanging
under it's gut (or should i say thorax?)
Don't waste your time tying a Teeny Nymph. A Pheasant Tail, tied
properly,
is the same thing...but better.
Sorry Jim...
I was begat from a different "Camp"...born in the stream.

Guy,

I remember that thing too, but it was actually a plactic tag that was
to be removed before fishing. The fly is quite different from a
pheasant tail, it does a better job of imitating a caddis than a
mayfly, and it's simplicity is often it's strength.
